As an actor, Clint Eastwood will probably be known for his roles as a magnum-toting cop, or the cowboy whose devil-may-care attitude dominates the West. Though a legendary actor, Eastwood has shifted primarily to the director's chair, where he recently turned out Million Dollar Baby and The Flags of Our Fathers.

Although the popular discourse at universities has changed, when we enacted affirmative action, the goal was to hasten the day from which we could look back and say that we had achieved equality. Well, I have some news for everyone: we just elected a black man as president.

I'm thankful McCain lost, but an Obama presidency gets me about as giddy as I've been these past eight years under Bush. That is, not at all.
I sure felt left out when clusters of jaunty, overjoyed students screamed into the night, enthusiastically hugging each other in warm embrace, convinced their problems would evaporate with the passing old-world Bush years and that Barack Obama would fulfill every dream they envisioned in their unencumbered Election Night ecstasy.

It is post-Baby Boomer, post-partisan, post-racial, and most importantly, post-Bush. And add to that list of unfounded hyperboles one new construction: "post-media." Throughout the 2008 horse race, now-President-elect Barack Obama demonstrated a proclivity toward digital media.

The Llama Sutra delights in answering your questions about sex and relationships, but this week we'd like to talk about something else. Gender-neutral housing options help everyone have the housing they find most comfortable. Such options are spreading across the country, and it's a movement Simon's Rock should join.

By the time you will read this, the opportunity to inflict drastic change in our very own government will be over, for better or worse.

Parking is getting ridiculous
Campus parking is getting ridiculous. There are limited areas for us to park. There are only three or four lots for commuters, but we do not get the whole lot to ourselves. All but one of our lots is shared with MCLA residents and also with the faculty.

iPod users better turn down the music and listen up while they still can.
It's no longer a myth: the New York Times recently reported there is empirical evidence that listening to personal music players such as iPods too loud can cause serious long-term damage to your ears.

Election night was an emotional time for me. Watching president-elect Barack Obama take the stage at Grant Park in Chicago brought a tear to my eye.
Was it because I was witnessing history on a magnificent scale? No. It must have been Obama's unwavering rhetoric that pulled at my heartstrings? Nope.

While millions of Obama supporters were celebrating his victory last Tuesday night, many were also mourning the success of proposals such as Proposition 8 in California and Proposition 102 in Arizona. These propositions allow the state governments to amend their constitutions to unambiguously define marriage as a union between a man and a woman, allowing no future for same-sex marriage.

His campaign promised to reach across the aisle of partisan politics, and President-Elect Barack Obama's Cabinet will reflect that. There have been several speculative short-lists and suppositions made, but Valerie Jarrett, transition co-chairman for Obama, has made it clear that most are far from true.

Fortunately, last week's historic election of the most liberal, inexperienced U.S. president of all time had a silver lining. California, long considered a lost cause for conservatism, passed Proposition 8 to ban same-sex marriage.
But while I was quietly shedding tears into a tall glass of Rubinoff after John McCain's defeat, militant gay rights activists in California weren't accepting their loss as graciously.
